Holiday Book Giveaways

~ Bob Hayton ~ 2 Comments

If you read my blog, you probably enjoy books. And, if you’re like me, you love the chance to get books for free! I thought I’d mention a few chances to get free books at this time of year.

  • My pal Shaun Tabatt is at it again with his 12 Days of Christmas Book Giveaway. Although today’s giveaway is a software module for BibleWorks 7 or 8 users, the next four days will likely include free book giveaways. Pay close attention to his blog now through Christmas Eve.
  • A blog I just stumbled upon, Sententiae Nil, is offering a free book in honor of its 200th post. You can enter to win a free copy of Biblical Theology: Retrospect and Prospect, edited by Scott Hafemann (IVP) just by subscribing to his blog and commenting on this post. This contest lasts until 12/26. (On a similar note, I just realized that I passed the 700 post mark around here. My 700th post actually offered a free book, too!)
  • Next, Allen Mickle’s blog is giving out a free Crossway title each month in 2010. You’ll want to subscribe to his blog, and read this post for details.
  • Finally, I should mention online bookswapping as a way to get free books. I keep meaning to devote a post to this, and still plan to. But for now, you should check out bookmooch.com and paperbackswap.com for great book-swapping programs. I’ve used both, and like paperbackswap.com’s features the best. In fact if you sign up to paperbackswap.com (for free) using this link, I’ll get credit for referring you to them. Goodreads.com has a new swapping program which I’ll have to check into as well.
